> No, "yearly reviews" to get a five or even ten percent raises are not sufficient. Sounds like you've had a shitty work career. None of what I'm talking about is anything like that. > You are trying to turn economic transactions into "personality traits" and it's kind of really disgusting.... I create a lot of value--in much less than six months... You talk about it as an economic transaction, but you fail to actually acknowledge the economic transaction that's actually taking place. You don't just magically spring into existence into my company when you drop your resume at the door. The cost to hire you is significant. You simply haven't recouped that cost of hiring you within 6 months, regardless of whether or not you're God's gift to programming. > I don't need a bunch of ramp-up time, and I can get paid literally double per-hour to do it. Sounds like you're living the dream, congrats. Most people aren't as talented as you are. Using your experiences to make hiring decisions for the other 99% of society would seem silly, don't you think?
